my boat has lots of teak on the outside deck what is the best way to re oil it and what do you guys use

Been using Sikens light oak on my teak .
Jabberwock is thinking about olje I think he finds varnish keeps the boat away from sailing the less varnish the better.

I use this stuff, Sikkens Wood-Oil Varnish because it's easy to re-coat. Normally 3 coats to start with then a very light sand next time it needs a touch up.

Some owners just leave teak natural it would depend what latitude your boats on and a salt water scrub now and then

The revarnishing made the tiller on my boat shine but... it was a pain to do it and the rest is coming up soon for the same treatment. Unfortunately.
It causes me physical pain to look at the hand rails and trimmings and it makes me think, what method l should use to make them look good for a veeeeery long time. I do not cherish the thought to do them again in a few years time. I only have a few bits of timber above deck (thank heavens!) but still too many for my liking. No doubt, it is beautiful timber, white teak, just too labour intensive.
I was thinking about S/S for the rails, but the cost...

I used the feast and watson spar varnish for the tiller but l am not too confident about it's quality for this purpose?
I never used polyurethane or epoxy in the marine environment? It worked very well on the hard wood floor!

Could any of you, esteemed members give some advice, please.
